Re: Re: electrolite labs after my first weeks of supplementation (BUMP)

Val always has said that she likes to see the sodium at the upper part of the range, about 143-144, so yours is perfect! And she said potassium should be 4.2-4.4, so your potassium is perfect, too! I am jealous...lol...I take my salt, increased it again, and my sodium dropped. So it looks like you found the right dose for you. So I would test again in 2 weeks and see if you are holding at these levels. If you have, then you could probably get away with once a month for awhile unless you change your dose of HC, then I would retest since HC can lower your potassium. Terri

Many thanks Terry!Is't sodium a bit high, I really have no idea, but I see so close to the upper limit!>> Those labs look great! I think a lot of us would be envious of those levels, at least I am (of the sodium). I would just stay on the amounts you are on and re-test in 2-3 weeks to see if it's holding at those levels.> > Terri> > > From: martimusm > Sent: Friday, April 23, 2010 5:37 AM> To: RT3_T3 > Subject: Re: electrolite labs after my first weeks of supplementation (BUMP)> > > > It has been a bit more than two weeks now since I started supplementing with 1200 of potassium and a bit less than half teaspoon salt with water two times a day.
